Chief Minister Raghubar Das while lauding the efforts taken by villagers of Banlotwa near Ranchi underlined the value of community participation for social cause. The village has been declared alcohol-free, especially after local women went against the menace.
“My Govt is here to change the face of every village and bring smile on the faces of everyone. Still there are problems of poverty, unemployment, migration and illiteracy and we are working to eliminate these evils. Banlotwa is one such example where community has worked to contribute in lessening the evils,” said the CM addressing the villagers on Sunday.

The Govt is aiming them by promoting beekeeping, poultry, tussar production, lac famring etc,” said the CM adding onus given to Sakhi Mandals.
